JOSEF PEJCHAR, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

BROOCH OR THE LIKE.

Application filed April 17, 1922. Serial 554,071.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnr Panama, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. Brooches or the like. of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to brooches, pins and similar articles of jewelry and its purpose is to provide an object of this character which combines simplicity, of construction with neatness in appearance.

The objects and advantages of my invention will appear fully from the description following hereinafter, and the novelty will then be pointed out in the appended claims.

Several satisfactory embodiments of my invention have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings, but I desire it to be understoood that these are examples only, and that I do not wish to limit myself to the exact details shown.

In these drawings, Fig. 1 is a face view of one form of my invention, Fig. 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 1- is an end view looking in the direction of the arrow a in Fig. 2; Figs. 5 and 6 are a face view and an end view respectively of a different form of my invention; Figs. 7 to 9 show another form, Fig. ,7 being a face view with parts in section, Fig. 8 an elevation, and Fig. 9 an end View; Figs. 10 and 11 are views similar to Figs. 7 and 9, but illustrating still another form of my invention; and Fig. 12 is a fragmentary view showing a slight modification of the form illustrated in Figs. 7 to 9.

The form of my invention shown in Figs.

. 1 to 4: comprises a pin having two substantially parallel longitudinal members 10, 11 connected at one end by a short transversely bent portion 12. The free end of the pin member 11 is provided with a hook-shaped keeper 13 for the reception of the free pointed end of the pin member 10 during use of the article. In the particular example shown, the parts 10, 11, 12 and 13 are shown integral, that is, made of a single piece of wire. The end portions of the pin member 11 extend through short, sleeve-like or tubular holding members 14, the outer ends of which are formed with notches 15 (Figs. 2 and 4) which prevent the pin from turning relatively to the holding members 14 On their sides opposite to the notches 15, the tubular members 14 are connected, for instance by soldering, with an ornamental plate 16 having preferably a longitudinal slot 17. On the pin member 11 are mounted perforated ornaments 18, such as beads,'balls or the like, and these ornaments are spaced apart by spacing sleeves ,-19. The gornzaments and spacing members fill the entire space between the holding members 1 1, so that the ornaments cannot move lengthwise on the pin member 11; theyv are, however,v

free to rotate thereon.

The form of my invention illustrated in and spacing sleeves, leaving the pin member 11 bare; the slot 17' inthe plate 16 is shown narrower than the slot 17, but it is wide enough to allow the pin member 11 to be seen through the slot. The pin member 11 thus forms with ,theplate 16 an effective ornamentation.

In Figs. 7 to 9, I have shown an arrangement in which the plate 16 has been omit-ted, so that the parts carried by the pin member 11 are visible in their entirety. These parts comprise beads 18 held apart by spacing sleeves 19, and the outer beads are held in place by tubular holding members 14' having lateral slots 15.

While in the forms shown in Figs. 1 to 6 the lateral notches are formed by a cut parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubular members 1 1, they may be formed, as shown in Fig. 8, by an oblique cut; the elfeot, however, is the same, viziz these notches, by the engagement of their side edges with the pin portion 12 and the keeper 13 respectively prevent the pin from turning relatively to the holding members, so that the brooch or other article, when worn, always faces in the proper direction. These notches have the further advantage of preventing the transversely-bent portions of the pin from being seen from the front, as will be clear from the drawings.

In Figs. 10 and 11 I have illustrated a form of my invention in which the tubular holding means adjacent to the two transversely-bent ends of the pin are formed by a single tubular member 20 extending for the whole length of the pin and provided with notches 21 for the reception of the transversely-bent pin portions. The tubular member 20 may be of any suitable shape, a

Figs. 5 and 6 differs from that shown in: F lgs. 1 to 4 by the omission of ornaments lit hexagonal shape having been indicated in the drawings as an example. An article of this kind lends itself readily to ornamental: tion, for instance by engraving or enameling, and is very simple and neat in appearance, the transversely-bent portions of the pin being),- invisible from the front, in the other forms of my invention.

In Fig. 12 I have indicated a slight modification of the form shown in F 10 and 11. According to Fig. 12 the notches 21 are not provided in the tubular member 20 itself, but in separate sleeves 22' secured to the ends of the tubular member as by soldering or otherwise.

Various modifications may be made without departing from the nature of my invention as set forth in the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A pin having two substantially parallel members connected at one end, a keeper proj ected from one end of one of said members and adapted to receive the free end of the other member, and tubular means mounted on the pin member from which the keeper projects, said means having lateral notches to receive the transversely-bent portions of the pin and prevent the pin from turning relatively to said means.

2. A pin having two substantially parallel members connected at one end, a keeper projected from one end of one of said members and adapted to receive the free end of the other member, spaced tubular means mounted on the pin member from which the keeper projects, said means having lateral notches to receive the transversely-ben-t portions of the pin and prevent the pin from turning relatively to said means, and spacing means mounted on. said pin member between said tubular means.

3. A pin having tWo substantially parallel members connected at one end, a keeper projected from one end of one of said members and adapted to receive the free end of the other member, spaced tubular means mounted onthe pin member from which the keeper projects, said means having lateral notches to receive the transversely-bent portions of the pin and prevent the pin from turning relatively to said means and perforated. means mounted rotatably on said pin member between said tubular means.

4. A pin having two substantially parallel members connected at one end, a keeper projected from one end of one of said members and adapted to receive the free end oi the other member, a tubular member mounted on the pin member from which the keeper projects, and means on said tubular member for preventing the pin from turning relatively to said tubular member.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification.
